Afternoon tea earlier with the bfs parents. 

Scones are an etiquette nightmare. Clotted cream before or after jam?

Well Im unique in that I put butter on before the Jam then the cream on top. As I have sampled many scones over the years I’d say hands down the best ones I’ve had.They were served hot apparently freshly baked that day.

Best advice I can give is sticking your flour in the fridge & putting the butter in the freezer for a bit before making the scones.

Inspired by the Crisps thread.

Had them opened and finished within a few minutes. 8/10

Diabetes in a bar, but more than worth it. A life experience. 10/10

How long do you normally take to eat a bag of crisps?

We went to this restaurant when we were in Milan last year.We had to queue an hour and a half to get a table but was well worth the wait.We both had carbonara and hands down best carbonara I’ve ever tasted.Was very cool watching them make the pasta in the window whilst we waited on a table

Aye, we first tried one in Rome and were blown away. There are two in Milan now and they are queued every day, even weekdays and locals eat there too, not just tourists. We were lucky this time but when we came out at 2.30 p.m. there were still about 15 people outside. The key is to go for it opening at 12 or maybe wait until after 3 p.m. 

It's also pricey at 18 euros for a pasta dish but it's genuinely worth it as it's the benchmark for fresh pasta. If anyone is going to Rome, Milan or Bologna you absolutely have to try it

Shake Shack’s shroom burger is the bollocks although it’s more cheese than anything else.

Where are you? There's a magic wee Italian Deli that usually have it in Falkirk. Failing that, Waitrose is the only other place locally that I know of.

They are usually happy enough for you to phone in and check and put stuff to the side for you

Visited Murphy’s Pakora Bar on Argyle St on Thursday. Waiter/owner was a pain in the tits but the food was glorious. Might seem a weird thing to say, but it’s maybe the best rice I’ve had.
